Anybody know why I my little application errors out when I click "Accept"?

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Money extends JFrame implements ActionListener

  //All of my items that will be placed on my panels
  JButton close;
  JButton accept;

    container.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

    //Panels
    JPanel panelMain = new JPanel();

    panelEntry.add(lblOne);
    panelEntry.add(entryOne);

    panelResults.add(lblResults);

    //Action Listener

    accept.addActionListener(this);

    //Add Panels to Frame
    container.add(panelMain,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    container.add(panelEntry,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    container.add(panelResults,BorderLayout.CENTER);
  }

  //Main method

    frame.setVisible(true);
  }

      if (entryOne.getText().compareTo(entryTwo.getText()) > 0)
        lblResults.setText(entryOne.getText() + " is bigger");

Rockie it is erroring because I think you are attempting to use parseLong method of Long, which will parse a string which is a valid long, which in your case it is not.

You pass it 1.2 this is not a long but a double or float. Longs are just larger ints, you cant have an int declared 1.2 can you? So the same thing applies here. It is trying to grab a long and it sees a float/double and that is why it is throwing the NumberFormatException.

What I would would do is use a stringTokenizier to split the string up with . as seperator. Then do a getNextToken() which will return the dollar amount, which you can then times by a 100 to get the number of cents, do another getNextToken() which will return the right side of your string which is the cents, and then add that to dollar(which you have in cents now). This you could store in a long.
